Interview
Applied online. Took 6 months to get contacted for interview. They ask you to create a secret Pinterest board for a fictitious client. Upon actual interview, you're asked to write a note to the client you styled, explain why you sent each item. During the interview, they provide 3 items they want you to detail: what style each is, what age and body shape it'd be best for, what accessories you'd use and what color. This was challenging as the two lead stylists had good game faces and didn't offer any feedback as if they liked or hated what I chose. They asked a few questions, pertaining to customer service. Didn't ask much about my previous background, but did note I've had no work experience in 10 yrs as I'm a SAHM. I truly highlighted my continual volunteer leadership positions amongst three organizations but they didn't appear interested.

Interview
Took a while to receive an invitation to interview, but once someone reached out it was a very easy process. They were straightforward about the interview process, accommodating, and very friendly. We emailed to set a date and time for a Zoom interview and I was told what to expect from the interview beforehand and that's exactly how the process went.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They are upfront and tell you to research the STAR method. The question I remember most is one that asked about a previous difficult situation with a coworker and how I handled it.
They make you do an online styling assignment and then a 45-minute zoom interview with a styling lead. We went over the assignment and asked questions about my experience and background.
Very personal and straightforward! I felt heard and like they genuinely were interested in what I had to say. Process moved fairly quickly. Had a great interviewer who made me feel very comfortable
